Plain Language Summary

# Summary of H.J.RES 134 **What It Would Do:** This bill would cancel a national emergency declaration that allows the U.S. government to impose tariffs (taxes) on goods imported from India. The resolution uses a congressional mechanism that can terminate emergency powers claimed by the President without requiring a presidential signature. **Who It Affects:** The bill would impact American businesses and consumers who import products from India, Indian exporters and companies, and the broader U.S.-India trade relationship.

Tariffs increase costs for businesses and can lead to higher prices for consumers. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't advanced to a full vote in the House yet. It was introduced by Representative Deborah Ross (D-NC), and its passage would require majority support in both the House and Senate to become law.
